A little bit of help here? (disparity between upvotes and views)
Would someone smarter than me explain how this happens?
Why would random people upvote posts they aren't even seeing?
Does this mean my account's going to get flagged for botting?
Why am I being upvoted so much?
Anyone, anything?
You can upvote a blog post on the tag feed.
So people can upvote your blog post without even opening up your post. This would mean that your views do not increase but your votes will.
Yeah, but why would people do that?
I don't get the reasoning - if you're going to upvote, wouldn't you want to upvote things that you find worthwhile?
Isn't that the entire idea of SteemIt?
I upvote things that I find worthwhile and that is how I thought it worked as well.
But I just did a search and found out that you get paid for casting a vote. As long as you cast your vote within 30 mins of the post being new. The amount that you earn would also increase as time gets closer to the 30 min limit.
Below post from: https://steemit.com/steem/@steemship/how-to-vote-smart-and-profit-from-steemit-s-new-curation-rewards
“Starting *TODAY all curation rewards earned by voting in the first 30 minutes after a post is made will be shared with the author. If you vote immediately after a post is made, then 99.94% of the curation reward will go to the author. If you vote after 15 minutes, then 50% will go to the author. Any votes made 30 minutes or later 100% will go to the curator. This only applies to the curation rewards. The author still gets at least 50% of the total rewards.”

STOPI think a lot of people randomly upvote things to spread the "good karma", so to speak.
